Ring gear damage

I have a strong feeling this was caused by no lube, Or just the bearing wore out and no one cared to check into what was making the noise. Just use this as a reminder to check fluid and bearings on the diffs guys !

Ouch!!!!! oh man, i do not like this. I always changed with fresh Honda factory shaft gear oil in like once each year and always check, to keep them in fresh. I never drive my atc250sx or bigred in water o cross creekng either cuz i live in dry sand riding. so i don't have to worry about it

your looks seriously bady and already damaged, looks like you can get a full rebuild kits or get a nice used rear complete end and install them.

Sadly the case is messed up and the big red is really too far gone to put back together. It will be getting parted out in the classified section soon!
